February 13th. 1948.
The following passage was erroneously omitted in our recent
report of the Annual Meeting:
Reifenberg announced that, while retiring from the Oonmlttee ,
he wished also to hand over his post as Honorary Secretary,
although both posts are not, by strict rules linked up with
each other. The resignation was accepted, and a vote of thanks
til his highly appreciated services through the first difficult
five years unanimously carried.
Our next Meeting Tuesd ay. Feb. 17th, 6.15 p_.m_._^harjp.
Thp Circle will meet, contrary to usage, on Feb. 17th. in
response to the kind invitation by our member Ascher who will

The plan of an art exhibition by members found, on its first
announcement October 23th 48, an immediate response in the way of
numerous preliminary offers, and is now to be definitely shaped.
Members are requested to enter their works on the enclosed quest-

in this questionnaire a tentative, though certainly not exhaustive
enumeration of any conceivable type of art is given. The return
should show the number of available works under the different

The General Committee
met on March 22nd. Nine of the ten members attended. Ways and means
were discussed to overcome th. Lately observed drop in a"^™® .
and slackening of members' interest m the activities of The Circle,,
Two important measures have been adopted;
(1^ MEETING So
In order to facilitate attendance, meetings will he held tentatively:
a) once a month only^ . ,,
from 8 to 10 pTm. (Those wi have their meals on the
premises meet an hour curlier.)
not on Tue sdays at which day most other professional bodies hold
theTr" lectures.' Our days will be fixed individually and announced
well ahead.
(c)
(2) ANNUAL PIKUBR.
In order to create a special occasion to which all members may feel
equally attracted a new feature is to be introduced in our activities,
a Social Gathe r Ith L; idie!
which is being planned for Friday J,:/ ,20th, 7.30 p.m. The entrance
fee will be 7% each which will not cover t ual costs, as wine
ant other commodities will be provided at t of the Circ le
treasure. - The programme, apart from tne dinner, may include (a) the
long planned exhibition "Architects' Sidelm ind Hobbies , (b a
Cabaret, ( c) a "Brains Trust", and is to bt supplied entirely by
members.' - This preliminary not. will be followed in aue course by
a precise programme and invitation.
We appeal to all members to help make this our first social event
a success: Write ~o7~hc^e and make suggestions. - Offer your contri-
bution ana reveal your (or ne ) talents ^ hitherto un-
known to us, as musicians, performers, artistes. - Return the exhi-
bition questionnaire. - Make a note of the day and invite your ladies,
relatives and friends.
Our next M A inq

The Circle will hold, in its seventh year, its first "annual" dinner.
?he fecial committee will do all in their power to make it a success

Our last Meeting, 19th O ctober
had a scanty attendance of only 7 members. The others have missed
a great opportunity of learning a rood deal of both long approved
and newly aevelopod moans of waterproofing.
I!*. HURST, supported by his colleague :!r. YOE, »oth^all too modestly
reluctant to mention their connection with Messrs, TRLiO-L ^to. ,
pointed out the value of Bitumen solution, which leaves pure bitumen
after evaporation, in preference to emulsions.
Other useful information included: Any grounding to be as hard as
the rendering on it. - Add waterproofing ingredients to the ™>rtar
for pointing. - Transparent waterproofing emulsions are not durable.
Exudation of salts and other chemicals in the soil demand special
attention, Flotton bricks thereby tending to throw oix rendering, ■
brickwork end concrete under ground level suffering much damage. -
Good keying of plaster to brickwork is not sufficient: suction is
also necessary.

It is with deep regret that we have to report the sad death of
the wil'e oi' our member ASCHER. Our most sincere sympathies go out
to the "bereaved.
Our last I l ee ting ,
— —
fixed for the 16th November, was cancelled at shortest notice -
involving 17 telephone calls - owing to severe fog warning by tl
weather forecasters, in memory of unplei at experiences from last
year. - The night was clear and lovely!
The meeting took place a week later, the 23rd November, An unusually
large audience, 14 members and 8 bs, heard with great interest
reports by OCIIS and FRIEEMANN Vbout their impressions gained on
recent visits to Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Heidelberg and Berlin.
Both speakers, on the whole, confirmed what most of us believed to
know already, from partially irretrievable losses to distinct sign
of recovery.
Ochs mentioned certain political aspects and recounted the absolute-
inability of those . - met to grasp the meaning oi "Total Guilt .
Priedmann dwelled more on what he called "Bauliches und Erbauliches"
(the latter not to everyone's nlearure). He cited well- informed
articles to the effect that in Berlin, around a totally rum
centra, perhaps doomed never to b stored, arise belt ol i
prospering satellite towns, former suburbs such as Neukoclln,
Tempelhof, Dahlem and others. The old Leipziger Strassc i. shilted

Our la s t Meet inn: , December 14th
uac attended "by o guests and 9 members. FRANKEL outlined several
pects of the L. C. G. CONCERT IL-iLL design which had met with much
criticism, including the: :
The SITE on the South Bank, squeezed in between two bridges, without
pleasant surroundings or background, away from typical London West End
amenities, is bound to restrict the enterprise in future to a mere
local importance.
The ENTRANCE on one side will not easily be found by visitors or
accessible to motorists.
The HEIGH T of the "building involves the lowest :e; t ts of the stalls
to be 28 ft. , those of the circle 66ft. above entrance level, with no
lifts or escalators being provided.
The SHAPE of the auditorium, an unimaginary square, is not convinc-
ingly defended by acoustic considerations.

from: fciarie Neorath,
3a Eldon Grove,
N.W.3.
Dear Member,
It is with ^reat Borrow that I have to report the sudden death
on the 6th instant, of our old member Ernst STEINITZ, who after long
illness had just marvellously recovered from his eye operation- We
all feel in sympathy with our Mrs.. Steinitz, who asks our members to
desist from individual letters of condolence.

January 1967
Dear Member,
We have to report another sad loss of the Circle; our Hon.
member Joseph Prank died in Stockholm on 8th January 1967
at the age of 81.
Since our last circular in October 1966, the following
meetings have taken place : -
Monday, October 24th . - **
Mrs. Liebesrnan showed slides and reported of her journey
from the Adriatic to the Black Sea and the Caucasus; Mrs.
Samuely added her own reminiscences of the places she had
also seen. Mrs. Neurath reported on her travel to East
Germany and some of her impressions.
Monday, November 14th :
Extraordinary General Meeting. 11 members were present.
Mrs. Neurath (in the chair) gave a resume of the difficulties
arisen thro ugh the deaths of two members and the resignation
of the secretary. She asked the meeting for their suggestions.
The main contributions came from Mr. Reifenberg, Ruhemann and
Wolfson. It was agreed that : -
1, Three circulars per year should be sufficient (one
per quarter, omitting one quarter for holidays).
2. The post of secretary should be abolished; the
necessary work should be sub-divided among several
members. The following volunteered for the follow-
ing duties : -
Mrs. Liebesrnan - collecting membership subscriptions.
Mr. Reifenberg - auditing accounts.
Mr. Ruhemann - arranging lectures, drafting circulars,
preparing stencils.
- printing and postin.g circulars.
)- preparing annual dinner, if any.
Mr. Wolfson
Mrs. Neurath
Mr. Wolfson
Miss Oppenheim)
5 # Mr. Ruhemann offered to make another attempt to find
a solution of the problem of how to avoid the clashing
of dates of o ur meetings with those of Club 43. Ke
also read one of his charming short stories to give a
light relief to this rather severe but successful
business meeting.
Monday, November 28th :
A social gathering. Mr. Ruhemar.n reported on his investi-
gation; one solution (see 3 above) might have been to hire
a room at 9, Adamson Road for a cay other than a Monday, but
the charge of £3 an evening was considered prohibitive. He
had drafted an application to Mr. Caeger of Club 43 that they
meet on a different weekday which Mr, Reifenberg read and
supported and moat members present signed.

January 24, 1945
Dear Mr. Reiffenberg,
I herewith enclose as promised my answers to Questions
7 and 8 which were valid anyhow up to 1953.
7 The normal type of scaffold used was of timber consisting
' scaffolding standards, putlocks, scaffold boards, wind braces
and guardrails fixed with lashings and cramps. There was a
fixed olatform at every floorlevel and on these fixed platforms
temporary platforms for the bricklayer were erected, aoout 4ft.
Sis' rather solid scaffolding was later altered and made more
temporary for the use of the plasterers takin many putlocks
out" as possible to allow for the uninterrupted plastering of
larp.e surfaces.
Q a The width of the fixed platform was about 7ft. and of the
temporary platform 3-6". Bricks and mortar were maintained at
•olatform level.
The bricks were loaded at groundfloor level int. metal racks,
transported either by builder's hoist or by special lifts to
platform levels from where the brickcarrier carriea the racks
along the platform distributing the bricks at convenient places.
I hope this will be of help.
Best regards,
Y ours,

Dear Rosenthal,
]).th August 1946
Thank yi u ^or the draft of our answrr
to the ' uestionr aire of the Council of
Industrial Denign as discussed better n us.
I like it in many respects ana some i3 quite
excellent. I feel, however, that it might
benefit from a rearrangement and condensation
to' make it . o i r< lo ical and more ir. keep ing
vrith the secuence of cuestions. On the other
hand I felt thai there might bi lesa
theoretical lecturing and ''.ore factual
information, c • ..<, assume that ihe Council
- which includes outstanding men in the field
of desir.n- should. ) at rood di r i r x is
and that some passages •'■ra toe much outsi.it
our terms of reference. Other points n reded
more emphasis whicl I have tried to give
by the n(r- arr ngement.
If you had any factual information irspeci.lly
in direct answer to the ruestiens tasked)
1 should liki to inbody it. The general
picture ,. think, 5 good, but the" details
are somevht t vague. It -culd e.^. he
• xcellert to give some details about the
training of the Bauhaus as compared with
the usual methods Riid of the influence it
had on industry . ether schools (R^.'^Or— a—

Vortrage zum Annual Dinner des "C i re 1 e','
Association of Architects, Engineers, Planners & Designers, London
am 24. November 1?55»
V RSPRUGH, von G. Lesser.
Liebe Gaste, Freunde und Kollegen!
Wieder einmal seht ihr froh ent^e&en
All den leckerhaften guten Dingen,
Deren Diifte aus der Kuche drin&en,
Wo Fran L e c h n e #> r ihres Amtes waltet
Und so kostliche Menus gestaltet.
Seid gegrusst! Und nehmt sogleich zur Kenntnis
Unser unumwundenes Gestandnis,
Dass als Fest-Pro^ramm uns schwebte vor:
Frohe Laune , Heiterkeit, Humor.
Unser Motto ist in grossen Zugen:
Stimmung, Spass , Gel'achter und Vergnugen.
Aber ach! Schon frag' -ich mich beklommen:
V/erdet ihr auf eure Kosten kommen?
7/erdet ihr bei unsern Spass en schmunzeln
Oder kritisch eure Stime runzeln?
Werdet ihr euch freun am he item Spiele
Oder gahnen wie die Krokodile?
Ferner bittc- frcundlichst z&» boachten,
Dass wir alles ganz alleine machten,
Dass wir in der eignen quelle fischen,
Urn euch frische Fische aufzutischen,
Dass wir in den eignen Bus en greifen
Und auf fremde "Entertainers" pfcifen.
Darum, wenn ich herzlich bitten darf ,
Urteilt sanft und mildo, nicht zu scharf!
Wenn's dem Humoristen nicht gelingt,
Dass er euch spontan zum Lachen bringt,
Lasso t Nachsicht walten und Gcduld!
Denkt: Es ist gewiss nicht seine Schuld.
Ein Problem ist so ein Kabarett,
Darum seid zu uns ein bisschen nett!
Wirklicher Humor ist leider selten,
Darum lasst den guten Willen geltcn,
Und nach jedera neuen Ohrenschmaus
Spendet reichlich Beifall und Applaus,
Weil der Kunstler das so gerne sieht!
Und nun: Recht gesunden Appetit!

LONDONER ALLERLEI,
von Albert Oppenheim.
"Oppenheim!" so sagte Lesser,
n Ihr musst auch mal reden, oder besser,
Dichtet was,
Irgend was, Ernst oder Spass!"
Bin furv/ahr kein Stegreif-Licnter,
Langs am gehn mir auf die Li enter.
Luster setzte ich mich nieder,
Lachte hin und her and wieder -
Wenn ich dann zuruck^eblieben,
Mussen s ie das Fest verschieben -,
Und da dacht' ich an Hans Meyer,
Unsern Barden mit der Leier:
War es mir doch nur vergonnt ;>
Dass ich auch so schillern konnt ,
Wie der ccht £erlin:r Ivleyer -
H'lt' - Ich haV nen Echtcrmcyor ,
Aus der Schulzeit her ein Bach,
Find' da Poesie gcnu^:
Klopstock, Goethe, Schiller, Heme,
Alle Sterne, eross and klcme,

MARCH 1946: THIS SUPERSEDES ALL PREVIOUS NOTICES
'BRITAIN CAN MAKE IT'
1946 NATIONAL EXHIBITION
OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
IN CONSUMER GOODS
NOTICE FOR THE GUIDANCE OF MANUFACTURERS
Issued by the council of industrial design
1 The Exhibition will be held at the Victoria
and Albert Museum, opening on September
24th It will be officially supported and widely
advertised. Policy regarding opening hours
and admission charges will be settled and
announced later.
2 The Exhibition will be open to all types
of consumer goods, together with certain as-
pects of civil transport. The list of commodity
ranges to be included will be found on page 3.
3 The Exhibition will be on a strictly selec-
tive basis, the selection being carried out by
expert committees appointed by the Council,
which will itself lake full responsibility lor
their decisions. (See para. 11.)
4 The purpose of the Exhibition is to de-
monstrate to all comers at home and overseas
the leadership of British goods in design. A
strict selection policy will therefore be ob-
served. No attempt will be made to cover the
complete range of output of a given industry
unless the goods available reach the necessary
standards. Design in the sense here used
means not only shape, colour, texture
decoration and visual appeal generally, but
also functional efficiency in all cases where
this is closely involved with the shape, texture,
etc., of an article.
5 Space will not be sold. There will be no
stands representative of individual firms, or
trade or industrial associations, or regional
industrial -roups. Arrangements will be made
by the Council to give all necessary lnlorma-
tion to visitors, the attendants being em-
ployees of the Council.
6 The gross floor area of the Exhibition will
be 90 000 square feet, making an extensive
display area from the point of view ot the
individual visitor, but a very limited one when
measured against the full range of goods
which industry can produce. The area is
rather less than one-fifth of that of the pre-
war British Industries Fair. This emphasises
the selective character of the Exhibition. A
provisional outline plan will be found on
page 3.
7 Each type of commodity will be present-
ed in one or more of three different ways:
(a) In commodity groups, either in specially
deigned sellings or in separate halls
or sections.

(b) In a series of some 24 rooms— bed-
rooms, kitchens, living-rooms, etc., etc.,
planned and equipped by experts chosen
by the Council, using goods agreed by
the Selection Committees as reaching
the necessary standard.
(c) In certain special features where goods
are presented in such a way as to tell a
story, and especially to throw light on
the significance of design in relation to
that class of article. Examples are the
section on Packaging and that on Chil-
dren's Clothing and Furniture.
8 There will be a special section called ' War
to Peace' showing notable examples of goods
which in dcsien, material or method of produc-
tion derive mainly from the technical lessons
learned in war production, or from types ot
article originally developed for war purposes.
Manufacturers who are producing articles of
this character-i.e., new types of goods, or
customary types in new materials, or made by
new methods deriving largely from war pro-
duction-are especially imiied to communicate
at once with the Council and give particulars.
9 Any manufacturer who isin doubt whether
a certain commodity is eligible or of interest
for the Exhibition is invited to address his
query to the Council which will give him all
possible help.
10 In all industries where this course is
considered likely to be helpful to the indus-
try itself or to the Council, the Council has
invited the industry to set up a committee to
advise it on matters connected with that in-
dustry, to act as a link between the Council
and the industry wherever necessary, and to
assist with arrangements for the submission
of goods for selection. There is no intention
whatever of restricting submissions for the
Exhibition to firms which are members o
trade associations. Where committees exist
they are intended to represent all the firms
in an industry and it is understood between
the Council and the committees hat
this is their policy. A number o them
include representatives of non-members ot
associations. Any firm wishing to obtain
further information on this subject is invited
to communicate with the Council.
1 1 The Selection Committees appointed by
the Council will be published soon. These
committees will be assisted by technical
assessors appointed by each industry, who
will advise selectors on technical questions
of production and marketing. This will en-
sure that the special knowledge and point
of view of each industry will be known to
the Selection Committees in making their
choice. Where a single Selection Committee
. covers several different ranges of goods, the
manufacturers of each range will appoint
separate assessors to advise on the goods pro-
duced by their industry. The Selection Com-
mittees themselves, acting for the Council,
will remain solely responsible for their choice.
12 It is the general policy of the Council
that the name of the manufacturer, and where
possible the designer also, of each article
exhibited shall be published. This policy
will be adhered to throughout, except at the
wish of industry itself in cases where the cir-
cumstances are such that straightforward
competition among different firms tor the
verdict of the Selection Committee has not
been possible, or in cases where, for reasons
connected with the war, any large part ot an
industry is not free to submit goods.
The names of manufacturers and designers
will not be placed on the actua goods but
will be displayed and/or published in other
ways which are under consideration.
There will be a number of information
bureaux placed throughout the Exhibition to
deal with enquiries from buyers or the
public. In particular, these bureaux will be
iblc to give trade enquirers the names ot
manufacturers and designers in those excep-
tional instances where these cannot be dis-
played or published.
13 Retailers who, while not manufacturers,
exercise complete and exclusive control over
their designs, will be eligible as exhibitors,
i.e., to have their names, as well as those o
the manufacturers, associated with goods
chosen. The possession by a retailer of sole

items or 'stunts' produced primarily with
the idea of obtaining entry to the Exhibition
are not desired and will not be eligible. Par-
ticular care will be taken to make clear to
Exhibition visitors whether an article is
available in quantity in the home market, or
whether it is likely to become so at a fairly
early date, or whether its availability is rather
more remote.
16 There are certain industries which pro-
duce for export designs of a character dif-
ferent from those supplied to the home
market. The Council cannot provide for
separate displays of export goods, but manu-
facturers in the industries concerned, in sub-
mitting designs which are specially intended
for the export trade, should mark the design
accordingly and should name the particular
export market if this would be useful tor the
guidance of the Selection Committee.
17 The exhibition is primarily intended as
a display of new post-war designs. In certain
industries the best designs of the immediate
pre-war period may be included, as long as
they do not form any disproportionately
large part of the particular section in which
they appear.
Mere copies of traditional or historical pat-
terns will not be of interest. Designs based
upon traditional themes and ideas will be
considered, as long as they are based on
freshness of inspiration, and reach the neces-
sary level of excellence.
18 Except in a few industries, for whose
convenience an earlier date has been fixed,
selection will not take place before July. It
will be left as late as possible, and the exact
date will be settled in consultation with each
industry.
19 Articles prepared for submission will not
be subject to austerity restrictions, though
licences (obtainable through the Council)
have to be secured when raw materials are in
short supply.
20 The scope and nature of a section deal-
ing with civilian transport (ships, 'planes,
railways, automobiles, etc.) is now under
active consideration and a further announce-
ment will be made as soon as possible.
21 As this is an Exhibition of design, metal
exhibits should be in sample finish.
22 The arrangements for collecting the
goods together for judgement by the Selection
Committees are being actively considered, as
also are the subsequent arrangements for for-
warding the selected goods to the Exhibition
sites. Arrangements for selection must differ
widely according to the size and geographical
spread of an industry and the type of its goods.
Manufacturers wishing to exhibit may rest
assured that they will receive forwarding
instructions in good time, either direct from the
Council or through the Committee for your
industry.

THE COUNCIL OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
makes the following requests to manufacturers:
Press on with all speed with the designs you have in mind to submit for selection.
If you hare not already been in touch with the Council, or with the Committee
Jet up for your industry, notify the Council of your intentions at once, sending a
ZcriJtZnof the goods concerned and a visual representation-photographic for
tefennce, but alternatively an artists sketch or simple technical drawing.
Do not hesitate to write to the Council for advice and guidance on any point
about which you might be uncertain.
Await detailed instructions about forwarding.

Answer
Two standard sizes of bricks are in use:-
(a) The German size of bricks: 25 cm. x 12 cm. x 6.5 cm.
or : 927/32" x 4 23 /22" x Z%?>"
(b) The Austrian size of bricks: 29 cm. x 14 cm. x 6.5 cm.
or : 11 L 722" x 5-/64" x 2^/16"
Consequently the general thickness of walls varies according
to the type of brick3 used. The following schedule shows
the usual' thickness of walls.

I can supply a typical Specification.
In general walls are always rendered externally and plastered
internally. Before describing the normal type oi rendering

Answer
a) Lime Llortar (coarse stuff): one part of well slaked lime
and three parts suitable clean
sharp sand.
(b) LimeLIortar (fine stuff):
one part well slaked lime and
and two-and-a-half parts of
fine river sand.
(c) Cement Llortar: there are three types :-
(1) Lime Cedent Mortar:
(Slow Setting Cement
Llortar) .
(2) Cement llortar
(Course Stuff):
(3) Cement Lor tar
(Fine Stuff):
50 kilograms or llOi-lbs.
Portland Cement to 1 cubicmetre
or 35-^5 cubic feet of lime
mortar.
one part Portland Cement to
six parts suitable sharp sand.
one part Portland Cement to
four parta of fine river sand.
(d) Slow-setting Gypsum llortar: 7o kilograms or 1GjV?.2-1o:
plaster of Paris to one
cubic metre or 25^/3 cubic
feet of lime mortar.
EXTSHIIAL R3I:D3KI1:G:
The normal type of rendering, for instance, for domestic
housing is a three-coat work of Lime Cement Llortar, (slow-
setting Cement Mortar).
Technique used in application : Many techniques are used
in practice, description 51 which would exceed the scope of
this report. I quote, therefore, the most usual technique
as follows :-

In this case - and this is the fundamental aiii'erence
as compared with the usual practice in this country - the
architect, after having issued separate Specifications lor
each class of v.-ork, receives the tenders of the various firms
MP the contracts. The selected builder, (Contractor),
v/ho in such a case carries out only the v.ork 01 the
excavation, concretor, bricklayeiTand drainl yer is ^ever,
responsible for carrying out one regulations ana is liable
for all defaults made to the Local Authority.
If the building is of a large size, the architect has

he keeps a Jou rnal , and charts regarding the progress of ohe

work and many techniques are in use. Common practice works as follows:

The trends pointed with increasing clarity towards
1.) Conteif-poarinefls,
2.) Quality.
The demand of quality was interpreted (moot aoutely by
the &*«*&• Deutscher arkbund) to include not only good
craftsmanship and material, sonuineness of treatment, but
even the Ion- terra aim of factory processes which could
give satisfaction to the worker.
It was when •Qaality' ad*=^*=4*«»e was welded into
ono with genuine expression of the spirit of the age,
especially its methods of, Industrial production, that the
highest level waa achieved.
Efforts towards restoring a sound formative process
in design and production remaind by no means confined to
a narrow orbit of professional d< signeers. ■ The whole

the public at large, were drawn into this cultural etruggl
which involved not only aesthetic, but also ethical and

THS TSDUC.'JIon OF TH^IflJKSTGr/^KBL^ R^ along lines theor-
etically ac:-aiov/lcdeed in this country, was taken very
seriously by, and made the ooncern of, German . tatoo
and municipalities. The , Kunat^e\vGrboailule , wan usually
located in the metropolis of the state, the •Fachschule*
near its industry.
Though both of them were meant to serve industry
in a wide and responsible sense, it was not to any ext-
ent the ndustrialista who wore allowed to exgrt^ian in-
fluence, conflicting with the disinters stedfliu^ority.
The principles of this education put the emphasis on
workshop, as procedin ; artiBtio training. During the
apprenticeship evening and Sunday morning olasses were
attended, in Kunstgewerbe or Fachochulen, afterwards tho
full-time Kunstgewerbesohule .
The principals of these mostly state or muuioipaliti [
eu pported schools were recognised masters of oheir pro-
fession, sometimes architects or painters, in any case
personalities who had proved themselves in practice*
They were selected with great care, irrespective cf nat-
ionality, an given a high standing. The same applied
to the special teachers. Apart from honour and good
salaries they were entrusted with v.ol-paid commissions
for carrying out prominent tasks. Usually they were
provided with first class studios, where they worked
with come of their students, who often wore paid too
and were in any caso brour^it into touch with praotical
opportunity,
he training was thus not standardised or stereotype,
but varied and personal.
Ho examinations eew were hold on oompletion of training.
throughout this movement the basis of Kunstgewerbe
education remined handicraft; 'Industrial Lesion', as
we know it today, was not yet treated as something spec-
ial and therefore not adequately catered for.

to be one of the principal aims of the •Bauhaus 1 . This

was well equipped with workshops. But even here crafts-
manship, the working of materials by hand, was still
basic*
The reason why Gropius set up the Bauhaus was his
general artistic drive, ooupled with his susceptibility
to the needs of our time } as one of the most vivid iion-
oers of the transf orm-ition in design, as described above,
he wanted to extend his influence.
He certainly made him elf widely heard, the final jud^men-
about the reuults of the Bauhaus has, however, not yet
been made*
If a certain subjective extremism was rampant even in the
Bauhaus, it is underet and able that new design, as dieting*
^ uished from r -ood design, was heavily in demand among the
uneducated nan. faoturers, [-.tores-buyers, and snobs,
especially after a poriod when •revolutionary 1 qualities
in designers were appreciated*
The remedy for such exaggerations, incompatible with
quality in design, is $he general raisin:- of standards of
Judgment* Definite progress* was made in Germany in this
respect ♦ Though numerically not too Impressive, there p
was a certain community united by the preference of 'de-
cently* shaped products and a cultured environment. It
was this qualified minority, moreover, who Be opinion 15 :t
the standards of ta3te, thus influencing, little by littli
that of the inert majority. After the concerted efforts
of the numerous periodicals had bo^un to tell, it was thii
community which subscribed to them and kept going lively
competition in theoo cultural exertion* •
The commercial benefits also started, quite natur-
ally, on the homo market. But the advent of quality in
design in Germany inevitably led to an increase in sales
abroad.
This was moj t vividly fostered on many levels, from
state organised trade fairs down to single shop . indows
in metropolitan streets. Great importance was f;ivon to
/?^*2. /££/£> que»*iona of display, and exoellont speoial schools were
established for the education of display artists, florae
of them were outstanding and engaged by lar t ,o firms for
dooorating their shop-windows. Illuminated by night,

Among tho trade fairs the moot Important one was the

In Gropius set up the Bauhaus. It was an ex °$p c {||?
the Weimar Kunstgewerbeschule , where he had been fcxSaaiM?.
The Bauhaus settled first in Weimar but the traditional
atmosphere of the town of the German classics did not prove
too favourable to the new venture and he therefore accepted
an invitation by the enterprising burgomaster of the small
industrial town of Dessau where he was offered wider opportunities
His initiative was due to his general artistic ^^ c ^ led
with his susceptibility to the needs of our time. One of
the most vivid pioneers of new design he wanted to ext end
his influence. Close collaboration with industry was one
of his principal aims. But training in the Bauhaus w bic
well equipped with workshops, was still mainly based on handicraft
the working of materials by hand.
There is no doubt that the movement to improve on design
did not finally conquer the broad masses. Bad period
furniture reproduction was still rampant. On the other
hand there was a certain subjective extremism New design,
"modern". Patterns on textiles, carpets, china of the ^pe.
